Laos New Year 2010 ~ Rockwall Temple

Happy New Year everyone (Soak Dee Pi Mai took kone)! My first Laos New Year back from living overseas was not as great as I had anticipated. Our group headed out to Rockwall Temple about 4pm. We stopped @ Krogers to pick up some roses & flowers for my grandmother who had passed away 10 yrs ago & also for Abe, our dear friend who's life was stripped away while in his prime. The whole day was cloudy & sprinkling & sure enough just when the dancers were about to make their appearances the rain started pouring down. The show had to be postponed til the rain die out but that was wishful thinking so they moved the show inside. Not much pictures were taken due to the bad weather:-( But I did enjoyed the good food, afterall that was mainly my reason for going;-) We didn't make it out for Sunday's Parade, it was raining so I know it was going to be a muddy mess plus by the time I was going my family either left or were leaving. Hopefully next week's celebration in Saginaw will be nice...
